Safer Internet Day
Our Digital Leaders delivered a useful presentation and led a really interesting discussion about how to stay safe online. They got everyone to think about online identities and how to be a responsible digital citizen.
Topic Art
P5 were very busy this morning creating a Jacobite and Redcoat soldier as part of our topic wall. They worked very well together and took time and care to produce these two fantastic pieces of art work. Great job!
